PRECAUTIONS
READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING OR USEING THIS READER MODULE.
Usage
Avoid Extreme Heat and Cold
Do not store or use the reader module in locations exposed to heat, direct sunlight, or extreme cold.
Avoid moving the device with which it was incorporated between locations with large temperature differences. If the
moisture condensation should occur, do not use the device.
Operation: -10 °C to +50 °C
Storage: -20 °C to +60 °C
Avoid Humidity, Liquids and Dust
Do not store or use the reader module in locations exposed to high humidity, liquids (include rain) or dust.
If used in dusty conditions, the magnetic head life will be shortened.
Avoid Corrosive Gases
Keep the reader module away from oil or corrosive gases (salt, brimstone, chlorine, acid, alkali, etc.).
Avoid Radio Frequency Interference
Do not use the reader module near a television or radio receiver.
Avoid Magnetic Fields
Keep the reader module away from magnets and magnetic field sources, such as high voltage, strong electrical
current, magnetic security devices or industrial equipment (speakers, microwave ovens and CRT display, etc.).
Avoid Locations Near Electrical Appliances or Other Devices that Emit Electrical Noise
Keep the reader module away from electrical noise sources, such as electric motors, printer, or computer equipment.
Keep Clean the Magnetic Head
Dirt, metal dust and magnetic particles etc. may cause read error.
You need to clean the magnetic head using the cleaning cards.
Cleaning is recommended every week or when read problems occur.
Do Not Apply More than the Specified Voltages
Do not apply any reverse voltage.
Voltage: DC +4.75 V to +12 V
Do Not Use a Cracked or Deformed Card
Store the card with caution to prevent dirt, scratch and distortion. No foreign matter should be stuck on the magnetic
stripe surface. Use of such card may result in a read error.

iii
Handling
Do Not Disassemble the reader module
Do not attempt to disassemble, or modify it.
Do Not Touch the Printed Circuits, Connector Pins or Components
Before handling the reader module, discharge the static electricity from your body by wearing on the ESD protection
such as a grounded wrist strap.
Always handle it by the frame.
Avoid Dropping, Bumping or Strong Impact
Avoid subjecting the reader module to severe vibrations or impact.
Do Not Connect or Disconnect Any Cables while the Power supply is turned On
Others
Use Specified Cards
Be sure to use a card, which conforms to ISO standard. Anti-magnetic of the applied card should be 2.4 × 104 A/m to
2.4 × 105 A/m of ISO standard.
Use a card which is encoded the magnetic strip on the front or back of the card. Do not support to read a card which
is encoded on both side of the front and back of the card.
Card operation speed should be within the specification range. Forced stop or change of speed during the card
operation may cause a read error. Appropriate speed to maintain stable operation is 30 cm/s to 60 cm/s.
Be Careful when Handling and Storage the Cards
Do not bend or twist the cards.
Do not attach oil, fats or any greasy substance on the cards.

is not present around the card reader.
2.7. LIFE AND RELIABILITY
Magnetic Head: 500,000 times pass (2 passes / operation)
Note: The life is reliability number based on the result tested in a “clean office” environment.
These numbers may be shortened dependent on the actual environment.
Especially in a dusty environment*, even in the indoor application, dust or sand may shorten the
life against the mechanical parts and most of the card transport mechanisms. In these cases,
warranty of the card reader may be void unless the proper protection and countermeasures are
performed by the terminal side.
(In a clean office room. In damp or dirty atmosphere, the life may be 1/3 to 1/5 of the above
figure.)
*dusty environment: Refer to e.g. IEC 68, EN30721-3-3 class 3S2 or worse.

*Calculating Procedure of Checksums
In case of example that a return data is “SE:400000030000”.
1
st step: “S” (53h) + “E” (45h) + “:” (3Ah) + “4” (34h) + “0” (30h) + “0” (30h) +”0” (30h) +“0” (30h) +
”0” (30h) + “0” (30h) + “3” (33h) + “0” (30h) + “0” (30h) + “0” (30h) + “0” (30h) = 319h
2
nd step: Neglect 3h (upper byte of 319h)
3
rd step: Calculate the two’s complement value of 19h (lower byte of 319h)
100h – 19h = E7h (E7h is the two’s complement value of 19h)
Consequently SH is “E” (45h) and SL is “7” (37h)
